Default Your Best Poker Friend - Alan Schoonmaker

I just started reading Your Best Poker Friend by Alan Schoonmaker. He's the guy who wrote The Psychology of Poker, which I thought was good. Your Best Poker Friend is about increasing your mental edge. The first chapter is about "Getting and Using Information", and that seems to set the tone for the book. His main thesis is that poker is a game of information management, and the better you're able to manage information, the better your chances of winning at poker are.

Has anyone else read Your Best Poker Friend or any of Schoonmaker's other books?

I have Your Worst Poker Enemy by him, but haven't read it yet. I'm so far behind in my poker reading.

Wow ditto.

Actually I've already read this title, but never wrote a review on it.
